Description
The TE/1SSA and TE/4SSA are MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based hardwired Secondary Surge Arresters, often
referred to as a Lightning Arrester. The device is designed to protect electrical equipment from damaging effects of
Spikes (+) and Notches (-) caused by lightning, utility switching, insulation arcing, electrical motor cycling, and
other large or sudden changes in electrical power flow on incoming AC power lines.
The TE/1SSA is a two pole, split phase, three wire arrester intended to protect 120/240 VAC systems and has
three 18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of installation.
The TE/4SSA is a three pole, three phase, four wire arrester intended to protect 480 VAC systems and has four 18"
long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of installation.
The epoxy encapsulated arrester is designed to be easily installed in any position indoors or outdoors utilizing the
integral 1/2" NPT threaded nipple and supplied metal lock nut. The housing is molded from flame retardant plastic
that is both weather and UV resistant, and complies with the UL standard for strength and flame resistance properties. The arrester is sealed with UL component recognized epoxy potting compound.
The APT Surge Arrester is ideal protection for outdoor lighting and pole lamps, panelboards, oilfield pumps, workshops, irrigation and sump pumps, refrigeration systems, farm equipment including milking machines and poultry
processing equipment, electric motors and controls, heat pumps and air conditioning equipment and many other
electrical devices. These devices utilize a single MOV per pole to reduce the potential load balancing/sharing
problems during operation.
